Tool Description Why it’s useful?
Frames Frames are the basic principles of animation. These are the still images you work on when creating animation
Key frames A singular key frame will state the start and final point of any transition As animators will work from one key frame to another adjusting each one
Layers Layers are one single section of the image Several layers will make up what we see
Control – Shape tool This will enable us to draw shapes We can build and create image to be seen
Shape tweening Feature that lets you morph one object into another Enables us to create one vector image on one frame and another on another frame and flash will morph the two in one animation
Motion tweening Feature that lets you move one object to another position Enables us to move one object in an animation to another area in a smooth motion
